Sabas Lopez

My mouth tastes like bloodLa boca me sabe a sangre
and I feel offendedy es que me siento ofendido
they killed my little brothermataron a mi hermanito
the best of my friends.el mejor de mis amigos.

Sadness is coming over meMe esta llegando triste
because they mentioned my namey es que tocaron mi nombre
the way they killed himporque como lo mataron
is not manly to me.para mi no es cosa de hombres.

I don't know if they were looking for himYo no se si lo buscaban
but they caught him far awaypero lo agarraron lejos
they killed him from behindlo mataron por la espalda
over in Zihuatanejo.allá por Zihuatanejo.

Tomorrow I'll leave earlyMañana salgo temprano
I'll go out to look for themvoy a salir a buscarlos
and they'll kill me or I'll kill themy me matan o los mato
because I'm also their brother.porque también soy su hermano.

If the devil appears to meSi el diablo se me aparece
trying to defend themtratando de defenderlos
just let him dress as a mannomás que se vista de hombre
I'll wreck hell for him.le desbarato el infierno.

The time is comingSe esta llegando la hora
when we'll leave the mythen que saldremos del mito
they killed Sabas Lopezmataron a Sabas López
but his little brother remains.pero quedo su hermanito.

I'll embroider a sarapeVoy a bordarle un sarape
well trimmed with bulletsbien ribeteado de balas
to show them that even a Lopezpara enseñarles que aun López
is not hit in the back.no se le pega en la espalda

Serve me a crow brothSírvanme un caldo de cuervo
and a crab soupy una sopa de cangrejo
they killed Sabas Lopezmataron a Sabas López
over in Zihuatanejo.allá por Zihuatanejo.
